Forest Turns Seven

Isabelle greeted me as I came out of my house today. That’s because it’s my town’s anniversary! It was 7 years ago today that I began my New Leaf adventure. 🙂

Isabelle: I almost can't believe it, but it's been 7 years to the day since you became our mayor!

We gathered at the town tree for a ceremony. But it was interesting to see who actually showed up: Rolf, Big Top, and Porter? Why only two villagers? And why Porter of all people? Don’t get me wrong, I like Porter…but it just seems like an odd decision. 😛 Maybe the developers were just monkeying around.

Isabelle: Without further ado, let us begin the ceremony to honor Mayor Jeff's 7 years of service!

But it’s actually the same group of people that showed up as last year! Rolf and Big Top switched positions, but that’s the only difference.

When I had the choice of dialogue to say, I picked the one that urged everyone to keep voting for me. But Isabelle said it doesn’t work that way, because I’ve already got everyone’s never-ending support. 😛

Isabelle: No, no...that's not how it works, Mayor.
Isabelle: Anyway you know you've already got our never-ending support!

Even though New Horizons is my focus now, I appreciated the gesture and the ceremony. 🙂

Claudia (who also lives in my New Horizons town) was disappointed that there are no events coming up on the horizon.

Claudia: Kind of a slow week ahead in Forest, wouldn't you say? No fun events on the horizon.

Vivian asked me for some furniture to replace her cabin bed. But Re-Tail didn’t have anything that size, and neither did Harvey. And T&T Emporium was already closed for the night.

So I looked in my storage and dug out a museum clock. It’s one that someone on Youtube asked me to buy them last year, and I did…but they stopped responding to me after I bought it. So I figured I’d go ahead and give it to Vivian. She seemed to enjoy it, and she gave me a clothes closet in return.

Vivian: Oh, Mr. J! You selected a museum clock for me?
Yes, you lucky wolf. 😛

The entrance to Resetti’s surveillance center was open, so I dropped in for a visit. Resetti wasn’t around, but I had a quick chat with Don.

Don: I wish you luck in all you do.

When I came back up, I stopped to take a picture of the moon.

Jeff looks at the moon while standing on Resetti's manhole.

At Club LOL, I asked K.K. for a random song, and he played K.K. Fusion for me, Peck, and Hamlet.

I couldn’t find Lolly anywhere in town (which is very common, especially at night). So I looked in the museum, and I found her in the aquarium room.

Lolly: Isn't it great that we have all these fresh- and saltwater creatures? It makes me feel like a scuba diver!

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Vincent from Anchere and Noelia from Nabane. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
